Errors In . Historical Letter.
HARRISBURG, July t. 1857.
EDITORS INTELLIGENCER.-Thi is the
anniversary OF our national Independence
aasd svssy one snOuS1'la happy, Ebuilition
OF patriotism, instead OF anger, should be the
predominant feeling With me it Is about
''six OF one, and half dozen Of the other"
Let me explain. In the INTELLIGENCER Of
Saturday evening, in which you published
some "reminiscences OF mine, under the head
OF 'The Buchanan Campaign," there occur
one or two provoking errors which should be
corrected.
For instance, in speaking Of the great mass
meeting and the immense attendance, the
types make me say, " ticO Thousand Demo.
Gratis from Philadelphia alone were there"
You are familiar with the story OF the man
who said the horse WAS sixteen feet high"
A friend desiring to correct him, said You
mean "sixteen hands," Did l say six.
teen feet ~ was the rejoinder, "then stick
10 it." l Rm confident / wrote that there
were ipe, not two thousand Democrats from
Philadelphia present. These of your readers
who remember the demonstration will tear
me out in the truth OF the assertion.
Again, in speaking Of the venerable Col.
Frederick X. Boas, OF this city, am made
TO say "Still at green old age an able and
vigorous supporter Of his youth and early
manhood" Now, that is nonsense. This il
what l wrote " Still at green Old age an
able and vigorous supporter Of the party OF
his youth and early manhood" A material
difference, as you will perceive.
Since writing the "reminiscences, / have
been ransack ing the chambers Of memory,
and find that it was not Col. John Il. Duch.
man but Col. Cyrus Csrmsny, who was the
marshal OF the day. Col. Carmany was
originally from Lebanon, but ut that time
WAS collector Of tolls on the old Columbia ~
Philadelphia railroad at Lancaster. Is WAS
q handsome man, nearly six feet In height,
finely proportiuned, and was an excellent
hOrsSman. His son, John II. Carmany, who
was q printer, subsequently went TO Sau
Francisco, became q prominent publisher
aud was the founder OF the OUeriaad Month
iy, in which Bret Harte first msis his repu
tstion by his production OF "Ah Sin, the
Heather Chinse"
Among others who took part In tho ION.

escaped my memory in writing the rsminis-

The lDay We Celebrate

Not perhaps since the days of the Gem
tennial has there been such a general OBJ
servance of the Fourth of July as that
which marked the celebration of the one
hundred and eleventh anniversary of
American independence. From all parts
Of the country come reports of notable
gatherings in which the fires Of patriotism
burned brightly. Pennsylvania led her
sister states in the new impulse given TO
the day 9 observance; and not a city, town,
village or hamlet but melted the American

A LONG while before the French had

the American navy had made careful
and elaborate surveys Of the route

are by long odds the most conceited and self
sufficient people on the globe, and American
surveys stood for no more in their eyes than
the ignorant speculstions OF an illiterats
peasant on the diameter Of the pork marks on

gineers who made survey in tie usual rapid

reports Of the Americans on the tides, the

and now the failure OF the French enterprise

Poor men are largely shut out
from the Government. Elections
have grown so costly that in too
many cases only those who can
command money can afford to run
for Office. A poor man can not
hope to obtain a party nomination
when the first question concerning
an aspirant is show much assess
ment can he afford to pay?" A
poor man can not command the
influence without which it is idle
to hope for an appointment. Gov
errors are nominated not because
of special fitness, but because of
splendid fortunes. Seats in the
United States Senate are bartered
away to the aspirant who uses the
most money either before or after
a legislative election. Weight of
money bags and not largeness of
brain-wealth, not worth-is the
test for Senatorial honors. These
abuses are no excuse for socialism
and anarchy, because in a Govern
ment of the people they can be cor
rected within the law. not outside
of it. Yet they may drive many
Ignorant or unthinking people into
seeming sympathy with anarchist
doctrines. Capital is it's own enc
my when it seeks to gain undue
advantages by corrupt means. If
wealth and corporate power will
respect the rights of the people their
rights will be respected by the peo-
pie, and. property, law and order
will be entirely safe in all parts of
the Republic.

In his inaugural address the gov
ernor of South Carolina said "The
people of the state have cause to
be anxious, aus to display dis
content and alarm. While they
must pay 100000 in state taxes,
they have annually to pay $6,OOO,,
600 on account of the unjust, I'M
equal, ruinous tariff which brings
the United States Treasury but lit
tie, while it-flls the Golfers of mo-
nopolists. Eighteen million dol
lars pour in a golden stream from
South Carolina to the north yearly,
and nothing comes in return. This
constant drain upon the people is
sapping the life blood of the ma
ton, and if not checked will in
time reduce the people to a state
of hopeless poverty"

Interstate Agricultural Conven-
ton at Lake Charles.

Governor McEnery, of louisa
ma, has issued a call for an Inter
state Convention in the interest of
stock-raising, d~airying, fruit-grow-
ing, and general agriculture, to be
held at Lake Charles, La, on the
22d, 23d and Oath of February, 1887.
+ The convention will be formally
opened on Wednesday morning,
after the close of Mardi Gras.
One of the most noteworthy in
dicatiors of the great industrial
progress of the Gulf States is the
marked attention of their public
men to agriculture and the efforts
they are making to bring the the
DRY and the methods of agriculture
in those States into harmony with
the teachings of science and the
highest demands of a progressive
civilization. Nature has been pro.
digal of her gifts to the State Of
Louisiana. For fertility of soil
salubrious climate, and for great
variety of products, Louisiana
ranks among the most favored
countries on the globe.
Governor McEnery has shown
commendable wisdom in thus Civ.
ing the weight of his official infu
ence to call a convention which
cannot fail to be of inestimable val
lie to the farm interest of that State
and the country generally. We
trust it may be widely noticed by
the press, and that the results may
be all the people anticipate.
This convention is so called thai
excursionists can remain in New
Orleans till the close of Mardi Gras
and take the train for Lake Charles
on Tuesday evening.
Full information in regard te
the convention and the low rates
of transportation, can be obtained
by addressing the Secretary,
